It's Award Season

And I don't mean motion picture awards although the Screen Actor Guild, Golden Globe and Academy Awards that are coming up this Spring!

I'm talking about the Happy 101 Award which has been making the rounds among the genealogy bloggers this weekend. I want to say thank you to Gini Webb of Ginisology for giving me this award - I really appreciate it!

One of the duties one accepts when also accepting the award is to list 10 things that make me happy. So here goes:

Working from my home, having finally escaped the corporate rate race.

The memories of my mother and the values she instilled in me - they still serve me to this very day.

The ability to work in the genealogy field and do what I love.

Having a sense of curiosity and the willingness to try anything once

Living in an age when technology makes it easy to connect with a broad spectrum of people.

Seeing my colleagues break down genealogy brick walls.

The love I receive from my family.

A good cup of coffee.

Writing - only if I had more time!

Appreciating the blessings that come my way each day.

And it seems I also must pass the award on to other bloggers - and here are my choices:

About Me

What happens when a “tech guy” with a love for history gets laid off during The Great Recession of 2008? You get Thomas MacEntee, a genealogy professional based in the United States who is also a blogger, educator, author, social media connector, online community builder and more.
Thomas was laid off after a 25-year career in the information technology field, so he started his own genealogy-related business called High Definition Genealogy. He also created an online community of over 3,000 family history bloggers known as GeneaBloggers. His most recent endeavor, Hack Genealogy, is an attempt to “re-purpose today’s technology for tomorrow’s genealogy.”
Thomas describes himself as a lifelong learner with a background in a multitude of topics who has finally figured out what he does best: teach, inspire, instigate, and serve as a curator and go-to-guy for concept nurturing and inspiration.
Thomas is a big believer in success, and that we all succeed when we help each other find success.
